THE BEST POLICY.

Doctor Considers Honesty the First
Great Essential i'm n Sick-Room.
'What is the first great essential in
the sick-roomP"
Three score or more of young nurses
struggled with this question at a re-
cent examination until their heads,
hearts and hands ached, and the old
gray-headed professor who put the
question smiled and shook his head in
the negative as one after another got
up and tried to answer the conundrum
in manner satisfactory to their aged
and experienced interrogation. The
answers ranged from ''quiotude. ""air"
and "a patient through the list of
pharmaceutical preparations down to
"a good DOCTOR and "a good nurse"
when finally the professor answered the
question himself
Honesty. That is the first great
thing necessary in sick ROOM" said
he. 1.-The best time to begin the
career of an honest nurse is when yon
first enter the sick-room. Do so bold
ly, honestly and at once. Do not spend
five minutes turning the door handle
like housebreaker, and pro-
duce series of little clicks,
finally terminating in loud
snap. Go into the room quietly,
of course, but let it be in a manner
that shows you have a right there.
Never say to your patients. .Hushr
Any appearance of mystery only ex-
cites them and should by avoided. 1t
is also well to do all things necessary
when they should be done. This wait
ing for the patient to fall asleep Is dis.
honest in the extreme. Because a sick
mans eyes are shut it does not follow
that he is asleep. He may be acutely
conscious of all that is going on. Do
not be officiously attentive. Such a
practice is really one of the most com,
mon forms of dishonesty in the sick
room. Patients often yield to sugges-
tons from such persons in sheer ex-
tremity. They do SO for the sake of
peace. / was in a sick-room recently

WHEN LOVE GROWS COLD.
What to DO With Misplaced Tokens of AT.
fectionate Regard.

1t Is surprising how practical an en-
thusiastic lover may become under
changed circumstance For instance,
correspondent writes to know If II
lady should return presents of jewelry
after an engagement to be married is
broken. If she is not impelled by eti-
quctte to return the gifts, he desires to
find out whether they can be recovered
by process of law. He says that the
lady and gentleman in question have
since married other persons, and he
implies that he doesn't like to see an
other mans wife wearing his jewelry.
AS to the point of etiquette involved.
young man who has had a great deal
of experience in such matters says that
gifts of jewelry should always be re-
turned. rs this is the prevailing custom
in polite society and as rule of con-
duct based on natural good taste and
delicacy. He added, with smile:
''lt is also a good custom from an eco
nomic point of view, for it has enabled
me to use one set of jewelry on three
separate occasions, and if my practical
little scheme is not detected | have no
doubt the same jewelry will finally
become the property of the lady that
l lead to the altar, provided can
get one who will stick long
enough to such an unsentimental fell
low" A young lady, when questioned
on the subject, said she did not think
girls ought to accept gifts of jewelry
from the men they are going to marry,
making exceptions of course, as to the
wedding-ring and wedding presents
She thought that when gifts of jcwelry
are accepted, however, they should al
ways be returned if the engagement is
broken. But she knew of some nice
girls who, not having a large supply
of jewelry, had kept presents after the
engagement was at an end. She had
heard of few cases in which the cir
cumstances wero such as to make the
keeping of the gifts pleasure to both
persons. A well-known lawyer said
of the legal aspect of the question that
he could not recollect having read of
such case in the courts. Gifts are
absolute transfers of personal prop
erty. and unless they are conditional
he did not see how they could be re-
covered by law. If given condition
ally suit for breach of contract mi ght
be entered. So far as he could see,
the return of the gifts rested entirely
with the lady. Another lawyer, who
is bachelor, evaded an opinion on the
question by making the broad asser-
ton that all young men who are think
ing of getting married ought to follow
the laconic advice of Punch, which
was-"Don't. baltimore Sun.

A Mammoth Gorilla.

Boston has just received from Afri-
ca the largest gorilla ever landed in
this country. His name is Jack, and
he is five feet in height when stand
ing erect and measures seven feet
from the end of one outstretched hand
to the other. He weighs about one
hundred and twenty-five pounds, and
exhibits enormous strength, compared
with which that of man seems like
child's. He arrived in q large box
made of planking two and one-half
inches thick. and when being removed
from the ship he tore large splinters
from the hardwood planks with as
much ease as child would break
twig. The hair, which is very coarse
and from two to four inches in length,
is of greenish-gray color, and on

A STRONG PRISON.
How Massachusetts Proposes to Punish In
cOrrigIble PenitentiarY birds.


A stone building, for tho confine-
ment of incorrigibles at the State
prison in Charlestown, Mass, will, it
is expected. be completed within a
year. 1t will be the strongest building
in this country, and probably the most
powerful in the world. The foundation
is laid to a depth of eighteen feet and
consists of granite blocks, cemented
together, the average thickness being
three and half feet. On top of this
foundation is laid the floor, which is
composed of tagging one foot in thick
ness. The building will be about
twenty feet high, and will contain
about thirty-two cells in rooms. The
walls will be granite, eighteen inches
in thickness. There will be two tiers
of cells, the walls of which will be of
granite, one foot thick, and this will
be the thickness of the floor between
the upper and lower tiers of cells. The
cell doors will be grated, of iron, and
extra heavy. The tops of the upper
tier of cells will be covered with boiler
iron about one-quarter of an inch
thick. The tiers will be so constructed
that an officer can pass around them.
If by any chance convict should
be able to get out of his
cell he would have to force his way
through heavy iron door or eighteen
inches of granite to get to get into the
yard. The roof will be as impregnable
as any portion of the structure. 1t is
expected that the building can be
erected within the appropriation of
$4,000 This building will be used for
incorrigible prisoners. A class of men
find the way to prison who seem totally
depraved. They delight apparently in
disobeying the rules and regulations,
and pose as DULLES. Formerly such
characters were subjected to the lash,
the shower bath and other devices for
severe punishment
When the stone building is finished
there will be two alternatives for the
convicts in the Massachusetts State
prison. One will be reward for good
behavior, time of, and possibly trans
fer to the reformatory at Concord; the
other will be punishment for disobedi-
snce by withdrawal of privileges and
possibly incarceration in the building
for incorrigibles. 1t would seem from
the fact that there are to be but thirty
two cells in the new building that it is
expected there will be few prisoners
who will make themselves so obnoxious
as to have to occupy apartments in this
structure.-Cor. Chicago Journal.

Lindisfarne, however. did not wait to

that operation eleven years after his
decease, with view to transferring
the corpse of their respected prior to

greatly surprised when. upon inspect

no signs whatever of decay or even of

YANKEE EARNESTNESS,
Few Anecdotes of the Once Well Known
General Leach.

Few Anecdotes OF the Once Weu-KnOwn
| General Leach.
The old-fashoned Yankees. when
they became interested in any thing,
took off their coats, put their shoulders
to the wheel, and pushed. General
Leach, large iron-founda n of Easton,
Mass. was one of this class. Becom-
ing interested in a new religious socie-
ty, which had separated itself from the
old parish, he made it his business
to see that on stormy Sundays the
minister should have a congregation.
He would harness his two horses to a
large covered wagon, and himself
drive 1t from house to house until it
was filled with church-goers and then
drive to the meeting-house. He did
business in Boston. but tho Thursday
evening prayer-meeting always found
him present, though he had to drive
out to Easton. and change horses
on tho way. The next morning he
drove back to the city and resumed his
work. One Sunday, the agent of tho
Peace Society preached, and on Mon
day began a collecting tour through
the town. His first call was made on
General Leach.
Il was interested in your discourse, {"
said the General; show much do you
think you ought to get in this town.
II hope l shall get at least fifty dol
lars" said the minister.
"Well. you ought to get that" an
swered the General. "But as our
people have been pretty we'll taxed
lately, and as your time is valuable. l
might as well hand you the fifty dol
lars and let you go back to Boston.
Again and again the General 8
minister would receive call from him
on business.
II have been prospered of late," he
would say. land here is a little money
for the poor and sick of the town,
which wish you to distribute for me
according to your own judgment"
The 'little money" would be roll
of bills amounting to one or two hun
dred dollars. The General was very
fond of singing. He hired a Boston
music-teacher to drill the choir one
evening a week, but he himself led
them on Sundays, standing with his
back to the congregation and marking
the time with his hand. One Sunday
while the choir was practicing during
the intermission. one of the General S
men came galloping up, his horse
white with foam. Disappointing, he
rushed into the gallery, and told the
General that the fume of the great
pond had given away and the flood
was sweeping away bridges and doing
immense damage.
